Shopping Monday: Fashion Conscious Rings

A ring is not just a ring anymore. Nowadays rings have become more fashionable and a savvy mode for a gal to make a statement. Instead of traditional bands, interesting design elements make a gal's ring that much more dramatic and unusual.1. Georg Jensen classic Fusion ring --- This design is offered in 3 colors (white, yellow and rose gold), with or without diamond. Savvy Sis purchased this ring as her wedding band in white and yellow gold symbolizing fusion of two lives. The puzzle design element represents the joining of 2 people. Retail price for single band starts at about mid-$700. Two bands are perfect for people with smaller hands and 3 bands are quite dramatic, especially with pave diamonds. --- Most practical!2. Damiani --- Well, this brand became quite popular after Brad and Jen purchased their specially designed wedding bands. I am quite intrigued by this classic Gaia ring which allows the wearer to decide the number of band to show on top. The retail price is quite out of this world too at around $8600. Ouch! Gaia rings start at about mid-$1800. The ring is super comfortable on the finger. The bands create a slight oval shape circle but fit my finger like glove.3. Boucheron Delilah tassel ring --- Doesn't this ring just remind you of old world charm? Nicole Kidman wore the matching necklace as a headband. The retail price for the ring is not quite so charming at about $4600. Wearing this, I will just bet a gal will receive lots of envious glances and compliments. (I was a little disappointed once I put the ring on my finger. Somehow the band is too thick for my finger but the tassel is still cute.)
